Joel Klatt made the point on his podcast and I think it’s so true.

While Clemson has two more championship appearances, and 1 more title I feel like they both gave similar vibes

• Both had elite coaches (Mack Brown and Dabo Swinney) who resisted change towards the end.

• Both had a string of 3 QBs starting with a very good one (Simms and Boyd) followed by a few of the best QBs in the country (Young/McCoy and Watson/Lawrence)

• Both had one all time team (2005 Texas and 2018 Clemson) as well as a few other outstanding teams (2004, 2008, 2009 Texas and 2015, 2016, 2019 Clemson)
